Studying Music at A Level will provide a contemporary, accessible and creative education in Music with an integrated approach to the three main elements – performing, composing and appraising. Students are encouraged to be creative and to broaden their musical horizons and understanding with areas of study that inspire and challenge. The OCR specification enables students to explore performance and composition in detail with the option to then specialise in one area or other. Through the various genres, styles and eras contained in the course’s areas of study, students explore musical context, musical language, and performance and composition skills. This is a course with options and pathways designed to appeal to, and cater for, a wide range of interests, instruments, personalities and directions.
Students who have taken a GCSE in Music should have gained a minimum of a grade 6 (or IGCSE grade B). The course is open to students who have not taken Music at GCSE, providing they have experience of performing at the appropriate level (eg ABRSM/Trinity-Guildhall Grade 5), have passed ABRSM Music Theory Grade 5, and are keen to learn about a diversity of music.
